1st Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden at Gowran (2m, heavy) in November on fourth start; major improvement to score by 15l in a novice at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January; weakened from three out after being ridden prominently in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham; perhaps not sure to stay. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Won a maiden at Gowran (2m, heavy) in November on fourth start and huge improvement to score by 15l in a novice at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January latest; fell at halfway on penultimate start in his only handicap (2m4f); has a tempting mark in this top handicap and there's enough stamina in pedigree to make today's third attempt at this sort of trip look worth a go. |

Won middle-distance races on the Flat in Scandinavia; sire gets plenty of winners over jumps and she warrants respect on debut for this yard but hood perhaps not a good sign.

Three Flat wins on nice ground in Scandinavia; can be keen and looked a bit tricky when second on hurdles debut; jumped poorly when third to useful stablemate at Naas; might be too fresh after the layoff but will enjoy the ground. |

Landed a heavy ground 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick in December; stepped up to 3m effectively enough when fourth in a Fairyhouse Listed handicap; strong gallop will suit although the better ground is very much an unknown. |

Improved steadily in four runs over hurdles; came on for reappearance at Downpatrick when beaten 2.5l by Torquay Road at Sligo (2m1f) 33 days ago; seems a lenient mark on handicap debut and she's a leading contender. |

First reserve; dual-purpose sort; couple of encouraging runs on the Flat on heavy ground in March; shaped ok on handicap hurdle debut for former yard in December 2023 off 98 but was beaten 17L into sixth; all his best form is on testing ground so rain would be a plus. |
